discovery: slowly increase sampling size
Some pathological discovery runs can requires many roundtrip. When this happens
things can get very slow.
To make the algorithm more resilience again such pathological case. We slowly
increase the sample size with each roundtrip (+5%). This will have a negligible
impact on "normal" discovery with few roundtrips, but a large positive impact of
case with many roundtrips. Asking more question per roundtrip helps to reduce
the undecided set faster. Instead of reducing the undecided set a linear speed
(in the worst case), we reduce it as a guaranteed (small) exponential rate. The
data below show this slow ramp up in sample size:
round trip | 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 100 | 130 |
sample size | 200 | 254 | 321 | 517 | 2 199 | 25 123 | 108 549 |
covered nodes | 200 | 1 357 | 2 821 | 7 031 | 42 658 | 524 530 | 2 276 755 |
To be a bit more concrete, lets take a very pathological case as an example. We
are doing discovery from a copy of Mozilla-try to a more recent version of
mozilla-unified. Mozilla-unified heads are unknown to the mozilla-try repo and
there are over 1 million "missing" changesets. (the discovery is "local" to
avoid network interference)
Without this change, the discovery:
- last 1858 seconds (31 minutes),
- does 1700 round trip,
- asking about 340 000 nodes.
With this change, the discovery:
- last 218 seconds (3 minutes, 38 seconds a -88% improvement),
- does 94 round trip (-94%),
- asking about 344 211 nodes (+1%).
Of course, this is an extreme case (and 3 minutes is still slow). However this
give a good example of how this sample size increase act as a safety net
catching any bad situations.
We could image a steeper increase than 5%. For example 10% would give the
following number:
round trip | 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 75 | 100 |
sample size | 200 | 321 | 514 | 1 326 | 23 060 | 249 812 | 2 706 594 |
covered nodes | 200 | 1 541 | 3 690 | 12 671 | 251 871 | 2 746 254 | 29 770 966 |
In parallel, it is useful to understand these pathological cases and improve
them. However the current change provides a general purpose safety net to smooth
the impact of pathological cases.
To avoid issue with older http server, the increase in sample size only occurs
if the protocol has not limit on command argument size.

"""extend schemes with shortcuts to repository swarms
This extension allows you to specify shortcuts for parent URLs with a
lot of repositories to act like a scheme, for example::
[schemes]
py = http://code.python.org/hg/
After that you can use it like::
hg clone py://trunk/
Additionally there is support for some more complex schemas, for
example used by Google Code::
[schemes]
gcode = http://{1}.googlecode.com/hg/
The syntax is taken from Mercurial templates, and you have unlimited
number of variables, starting with ``{1}`` and continuing with
``{2}``, ``{3}`` and so on. This variables will receive parts of URL
supplied, split by ``/``. Anything not specified as ``{part}`` will be
just appended to an URL.
For convenience, the extension adds these schemes by default::
[schemes]
py = http://hg.python.org/
bb = https://bitbucket.org/
bb+ssh = ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/
gcode = https://{1}.googlecode.com/hg/
kiln = https://{1}.kilnhg.com/Repo/
You can override a predefined scheme by defining a new scheme with the
same name.
